Nigel Barlow, 37, and partner Janelle Lewis, 33, faced trial in the ACT Supreme Court accused of entering a man's house and assaulting him before driving him to a unit and chaining him to a stool.
Barlow faces further assault charges over allegations he hit the victim with a blunt object in the backyard, and then kicked him while he was chained to the bar stool in a bathroom.
As prosecutor Trent Hickey wrapped up the Crown case on Monday, Lewis clapped several times before she became visibly upset.
Of the backyard assault, Mr Hickey said the jury could "confidently" find Barlow guilty, as he had admitted the offence while giving evidence last week.
Mr Hickey called the evidence from both accused "unsatisfactory", and said of several witnesses they were the only ones who said they had not seen the man tied up.
Mr Hickey said while Lewis' role in the alleged events may have been less than Barlow's, "it must have been clear to everybody that [the victim] was going to be held at the unit against his will" for the purpose of having Barlow's property returned.
The court has previously heard there was a dispute between Barlow and the alleged victim, over the victim selling Barlow's things - stored in the victim's shed - for the drug ice.
He asked the jury to put themselves in the victim's shoes.
Mr Hickey pointed to the triple-0 call made in the moments after the incident, in which the partner described people entering the house and assaulting the victim with "sticks".
He asked the jury how likely it was that within moments of the alleged incident happening, the man's partner was constructing a story rather than offering a "stream of consciousness" account of what had just happened.
He said apparent inconsistencies in the victim's story from the day of the alleged event to the trial might be explained by a concussion or by his being on painkillers, and that the victim had barely remembered speaking to police in hospital.
He said the pair had never resiled from what happened, and had denied the defence's version of events when put to them.
The court will hear submissions from Barlow's barrister Ray Livingston and Lewis' barrister Theresa Warwick on Tuesday, before Justice Hilary Penfold gives directions.
The jury will then retire to consider its verdict.
